RBSP-ECT Team

The RBSP-ECT team includes engineers, scientists, researchers, and project managers. The science team brings together leaders in the areas of instrument design and operation, science data analysis and management, theory and modeling, and space weather applications. 

They are distributed across eight funded U.S. institutions (The Aerospace Corp., UNH, Dartmouth College, Los Alamos Natl. Lab., MIT, Southwest Research Inst., UCLA, Univ. of Colorado), one unfunded US Govt. partner agency (NOAA/SEC), and three unfunded international collaborators (Univ. of Alberta, British Antarctic Survey, and CERT-ONERA)
